Heres something interesting that I was thinking about.
Previously in American history the voting age was 21, just the same as the drinking age. Today the voting age has been lowered to 18 because of one reason. Supporters of this change in law said that 18 year old's were being drafted to go to war for a president that they couldn't vote for. Due to this, the voting age was droped to 18 so that you may vote for the president who could possibly draft you. However the problem is, women cannot be drafted. So when using pure logic it seems that women should not be able to vote until the age of 21.
Just to clarify I do not believe in this, I just think its an interesting point. But I do think that women should be able to be drafted at the age of 18. In fact, I think I should join a women's rights intrest group so that I can fight for women to be treated just as men.
